Latest Lions News
James Mitchell : Elevated for Week 11
The Lions elevated Mitchell from the practice squad Saturday. With Sam LaPorta (shoulder) out, Mitchell will provide depth behind Brock Wright and Shane Zylstra on Sunday against the Jaguars. A fifth-round pick by the Lions in 2022, Mitchell has 13 career catches for 141 yards and one touchdown.
Brodric Martin : Missing Week 11
Martin (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars. Martin was a full participant in practice for the second consecutive week; however, he has yet to be activated to the Lions' active roster and will remain out in Week 11. Mekhi Wingo is expected to continue working as one of Detroit's top backup defensive linemen until Martin returns.
Carlton Davis : Good to go for Week 11
Davis (hand) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Jaguars and is expected to play. Davis missed some practice reps earlier in the week but is good to go Sunday. He's coming off a two-interception game in the Lions' come-from-behind win over the Texans last week. Davis figures to see plenty of rookie Brian Thomas in this matchup.
Ifeatu Melifonwu : Ruled out for Week 11
Melifonwu (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Melifonwu remains on injured reserve after his 21-day practice window was opened last Wednesday. He'll get another week of practice ahead of Week 12 against the Colts.
Shane Zylstra : Helping fill in for LaPorta
Zylstra and Brock Wright will take on larger roles with starting tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, the Lansing State Journal reports. Zylstra had a three-TD performance Week 16 of 2022, but he's seen just three targets in the NFL since then, and none this season. He did take five of the 14 snaps in 11 personnel after LaPorta left a Week 10 win over Houston, with Wright getting the other nine snaps and also finishing without a target. Wright is the favorite to lead Detroit's tight ends in snaps and routes this week, but Zylstra also figures to play more than usual, including some work in single-TE formations.
Emmanuel Moseley : Will not play Sunday
Moseley (pectoral) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Moseley remains on injured reserve after the Lions designated him for return nine days ago. Carlton Davis and Terrion Arnold will continue to handle cornerback duties in a matchup with Jacksonville on Sunday.
Brock Wright : Expanded role coming Sunday
Wright and Shane Zylstra will take on larger roles with starting tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, the Lansing State Journal reports. Wright is next up on the depth chart, but he won't necessarily be a one-for-one replacement for LaPorta in terms of snaps/routes, considering Zylstra took five of the 14 snaps in single-TE formations after LaPorta's early exit from a 26-23 win over Houston last week. Most of Wright's playing time has come in multi-TE formations this year, with more than half his receiving yards occurring in a single game Week 3 at Arizona (4-34-0 on five targets). Neither he nor Zylstra should be viewed as anything more than a desperation streamer or DFS punt play.
Sam LaPorta : Ruled out
LaPorta (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville. LaPorta didn't practice at all this week after making an early exit from Sunday's 26-23 win at Houston. Coach Dan Campbell said Monday that the tight end is day-to-day, which suggests there's some shot he'll return Week 12 at Indianapolis (Nov. 24) or Week 13 against Chicago (Nov. 28). As for this week's game, Brock Wright figures to get most of the snaps in single-TE formations, with Shane Zylstra joining him in two-TE sets. LaPorta's absence could also free up a few extra snaps for depth WRs Tim Patrick and Kalif Raymond.
